Drawing on intensive on-the-ground investigation and interviews with key militants, Zachary Abuza explains the emergence of radical Islamist groups in the region, examines Al-Qaida's role as organizational catalyst, and explores individual and multilateral state responses to the growing--and increasingly violent--Islamic political consciousness. Abuza also analyzes state strategies for combating, co-opting, or coping with militant Islamist groups. A key question here is whether state actors are trying to resolve the root causes of Muslim disaffection--or merely using the "war on terrorism" to suppress the symptoms Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-258) and index Notes Print version record Subject Đảng cộng sản Việt Nam.
